It gives me shivers of delight to imagine him occupying the DH through the all star break despite a .400 OPS+. I’ve been imagining what sorts of lows he could reach by occasionally giving signs of recovery.

If he gets two hits every 7th game, would that keep him in the lineup? Maybe he just needs to show a little more tenaciousness, grit, and hustle? Perhaps if he loses a little weight, there’ll be enough hope to get him through May. Whatever it takes, I hope the faithful stay faithful to their number five spot anchor all the way to bottom of the sea.

When your players’ egos are so fragile that you have to play them even when it is obviously not the best move for your ballclub, you’re in trouble. It will be interesting to see how long Big Juicy lasts this year. We should get a pool going.
